Chapter 238
CHAPTER 238 – RENDEVOUS WITH THE DEMON KING
After we jumped out of the space tear, we were above the clouds.
At first, we were falling in a curve, but gradually, the speed of our drop increased.
「Release while you canーー」
I flicked Eleanor with a finger for saying that.
Because she has a physical body, the different feeling from when she’s a Demon Sword is interesting.
Eleanor rubbed her reddened forehead and stared at with a dumbfounded expression.
「Just grab onto and don’t let go. Your powers are almost exhausted right?」
「Uu……!」
「That’s why, you should just stay put」
「……」
Eleanor got silent. Was she persuaded? Or did she give up?
Well, it’s fine either way. We should find a way to land first.
The ground is rapidly approaching and our dropping speed is rapidly increasing as well.
We dropped from ten tis the height from when I jumped off of Olivia’s back before, so we were dropping at an unbelievable speed.
I still feel the damage I got from escaping through the space tear, so it’s dangerous if I try to land as usual.
I thought for a second and held EleanorーーI held the Demon Sword Eleanor to a reverse grip.
I made a stance with that chunk of steel, and threw it with all I got just before we reached the ground.
I threw the sword as if I was throwing a spear towards the ground.
It hit the ground and created an explosion.
The blast spread out, offsetting most of our dropping speed.
We landed at the center of the explosion.
After that, I dropped down, laying on the ground while holding Eleanor in my arms.
I’m so tired, inconceivably tired.
This is the most exhausted I’ve been, just to escape through the space tear.
I looked up to the sky while holding Eleanor in my arms.
While the white clouds slowly passed by, Eleanor did not move an inch, quietly staying within my arms.
After a while, she said softly.
「It’s the first ti in my life that I’ve been protected by soone……」
「Is that so?」
「Do you see as a woman who needs the protection of others?」
「Not at all. And adding to that, probably, you have never protected soone else」
「Correct. Umu. Protecting and being protected, such concept was irrelevant to up until now」
After saying that, Eleanor beca silent.
From her presence, I felt that she was choosing her words, so I waited for her to speak.
「……it’s not bad at all」
「I see」
「My heart raced being protected by you. It felt as if my heart tightened, and my body felt as if it was going to be compressed……ahh」
Eleanor showed a self-deprecating smile.
「This must be how it feels to fall in love」
Eleanor reached that conclusion by herself.
She probably knew it as knowledge, so she quickly reached that conclusion after experiencing it first hand.
「It doesn’t feel bad at all. It’s as if I beca, human」
「I see」
「But, I do not wish to be protected」
The way she spoke changed. Up until then, she was speaking as if she was relishing the feeling, but now, she changed her tone into a strong one, as if to assert sothing.
And while she spoke with that strong tone, she escaped within my arms, and sat on top of .
My view that only showed white clouds changed into her beautiful face.
Eleanor’s beautiful face, her expression that was filled with a strong will, look down onto .
「I would rather die than be protected」
「I thought so」
「What?」
Eleanor looked at with doubt.
I took the Demon Sword that stabbed onto the ground beside .
And while lying on the groundーーwhile being mounted by Eleanor, I threw the sword.
I threw the sword straight to the sky.
Just like fireworks flew to the sky, the Demon Sword rose to the sky with a roaring sound. Then finally, it disintegrated, disappearing within the skies.
Eleanor’s clone that she created herself, it was unable to endure my full strength, finally disintegrating.
It would be the sa with an ordinary sword. There are only two weapons in this world that can endure my full strength.
And one of those, is Eleanor who is in front of .
「The other you also told . You told to use you with all that I’ve got. I’ve never felt the concept of “protect” from you. It’s the sa with Hikari. Not to ntion protecting your beloved daughter, you’re even teaching her how a real Demon Sword should act」
「Of course. It is I after all」
Eleanor’s strong deanor ended with that.
As soon as she finished her words, hesitation, and a slight fear appeared within her eyes.
「n……they like weak and obedient won, right?」
「Being weak doesn’t suit you」
「Eh……?!」
「You don’t need to be protected, nor you need to protect. The symbol of fear and massacre, the world’s most evil Demon Sword, Eleanor. That you, is the most beautiful」
「Are you saying that seriously?」
「Do I look like I’m lying?」
Eleanor stared deep into my eyes.
Our eyes stared into each other, for a while.
Eleanor slowly shook her head.
「I wish……I’ve t you sooner」
「Isn’t that why I ca? I ca today, from hundreds of years in the future, just to et you」
「I see……I would be able to et you after waiting for several hundreds of years huh. Fufu, I see, you probably ca because of that. If you didn’t, then I would be destroying everything in this world including myself by now」
「Probably so」
Eleanor who just gained her body looked very ominous.
She looked as if she despised all existence, seeming as if she could not help herself but destroy everything.
Probably, if I didn’t stop her, then she would’ve been destroying anything and everything around the world.
And compared to that, the Eleanor right now feels so ek.
「Hey, y-you……」
「Un?」
Why is she suddenly stuttering?
While sitting on , Eleanor blushed and seed to have difficulties saying sothing.
「W-What do you think of this body? If it is too young and too unattractive, I can do sothingーーhya!」
Eleanor’s voice beca smaller and smaller, and hearing her words, I grabbed her wrist and exchanged the position of our bodies.
While she sat on earlier, I am now pinning her to the ground.
Andーーwe kissed.
I pinned her and blocked her lips with mine.
Eleanor widened her eyes to surprise……but that was only for an instant.
She then closed her eyes and accepted my kiss.
We stopped kissing, and I stared at Eleanor inches away.
Eleanor opened her eyes and gave a good look, then finally closed her eyes once again.
Under the blue sky, I took Eleanor, and turned her into my woman.
